Chapter 2

I took one last look in the mirror then made my way out of the hotel room door and waited for Beka. Sound check started in just over an hour and we wanted to get a good parking space. We made our way out to the car and set off to the venue. "You got the tickets?" Beka asked me just to double check we had everything we needed. I wasn’t really sure why she trusted me with all the important things because I constantly lost things, but oh well, she’s the one who got us here I guess.

I opened my bag and made sure everything we could possibly need was in its place before and answered Beka's question. "Yep,  all good. I have everything we need! Now stop stressing and get us there on time.", I answered back reassuring Beka.

As we pulled into the parking lot at the venue we noticed that they were already letting everyone in for sound check so we parked the car as close as we could to the entrance and made our way over to everyone else and waited in line. Before we knew it, we were already handing the woman our tickets to be stamped and being checked by security. The woman who scanned our tickets handed us our Wristbands and then let us in the venue.

As we made our way to the front of the stage, we noticed that there were not many other people there with us at sound check. Just around 30 other sexually frustrated teenaged girls. We started talking to two other girls sat behind us when one of them started pouring her lungs out while pointing at the stage. We both turned around as quick as we could and noticed that Calum had just made his way on to the stage and was stood behind us waving at us. I grabbed my phone and threw it at him as fast as I could.

"Someone’s eager:", Calum winked at me. I swear to god, I died there and then. Calum bent down to us and took a quick selfie with us before saying goodbye and he made his way to his position on stage. About two minutes later the other boys appeared and said a quick hello to everyone before they started sound check.

We were freaking out. We couldn't help ourselves from squealing. Just then, the boys started playing "Don't Stop". I felt like somebody was watching me and my eyes met Ashtons. Ashton Irwin was looking at me? He smiled and then looked away and continued drumming.

When Sound check was over, the boys put their guitars down and two men carried 4 chairs on to the stage. "Hello! We are going to start the Q&A now!", said Michael. Beka and I had come up with some questions during the drive from the hotel to the venue.

A girl who looked around 15 put her hand up and asked the first question: "My question is for Michael. What was your favorite hair color you have had so far?" We both looked at each other and thought the same thing: What a stupid question. Michael giggled and answered: "Yellow. I looked like Pikachu"

As soon as he had answered, Bekas hand shot up. "My question is for Luke. Describe being on stage in one word" "That’s a hard one. I would have to say crazy. But if I had more words I would say Pretty fucking awesome", Luke said whilst winking at Beka. Her cheeks turned bright red.

Ashton looked over at Luke and told him to watch his mouth. "I have a question for your friend. Where are you sat tonight?", Ashton asked. I looked around the room and noticed everyone’s eyes were on me. “Mia! He’s talking to you!”, said Beka.  I looked at Ashton and asked if he meant me. He nodded. "Block B1, row 1 seat 7", I said blushing. Ashton laughed.

The Q&A went on for another 40 Minutes and the whole time Ashton was looking at me. When it was over, the boys waved goodbye and we all made our way to our seats. After 10 Minutes, everyone else started entering the venue.
